When dealing with accessibility issues, one request that I often run across is setting colors for varying degrees of color blindness. Many people have some form or another of color blindness that prevents them from seeing color as the rest of us.  Some vision deficiencies make it very difficult to distinguish web colors.

Changing monitor brightness and contrast help, but as a designer I also look for compatible or non-compatible colors to aid these conditions. Complicating the issue a little more…colors render differently between Windows computers/montors and Apple/Mac computers/monitors.

How to narrow down eco-color choices, or any other color choices, either for web, print or any medium where color palettes need to be defined.

Most of the tools I have listed below are for web based hexidecimal color codes, but many of these can be used to help with room decorator colors, yarn color combinations, and many other material matching systems.  There is even a tool that allows you to upload a photo and it will match the colors with the photo.  Others will let you pick a hue or color and it will auto select compatible colors.  Here is a list of just a few: Colorpicker.com,  Colorschemer.com,  ColorPaletteGenerator,  ColorCombos.com, WebsiteColors.com,  ColorCalculator,  ColorBlender.com,  ColorHunter.com, PaletteMan.com, InstantColorSchemes.

Much thought goes into the theory of color and there are many documented articles on the psychology of color and how color influences someone to buy or not to buy. As a web designer, I am very aware of how color affects the end user.  I also want to make sure that l choose link colors and link rollover colors that affect the information flow of the design and how each color used in the design interacts with another.

Next, I will dabble with accessibility color issues…you CAN color outside the lines!

Organic SEO

It’s not exactly working with mother earth, but “Organic” SEO will reap a good crop of search engine “acknowledgements”.  You should be implementing at least minimal organic SEO technics to make sure your website is being recognized and spidered by the major search engines.  What does “Organic” mean in relation to web design?  It’s getting back to basics…like getting your hands into the earth.  Get your hands dirty and start optimizing code that makes a difference.  I’ve always been a believer that it’s the little things in life that count.  Organic search engine optimization is making the proper adjustments to Page Titles, Meta Tags, Page Content, Page URL’s,  Page Headings, Image Alt Tags and more that make your website “search engine friendly”.
